Spider-Man: Brand New Day breaks US opening-day record
Developing story first seen 1 hour ago
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ has set a US opening-day record with $168 million including previews, overtaking ‘Avengers: Endgame’s’ $157.4 million. Its opening weekend could now challenge ‘Endgame’s’ $357.1 million record, but forecasts remain divided: Sony projects $325 million, while some industry estimates exceed $350 million.
The film needs more than $105 million on Saturday to strengthen its chances of taking the weekend record, with Sunday performance likely decisive. It is already Sony’s largest domestic opening, surpassing ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’s’ $260.1 million, while audience surveys show an 88% definite recommendation rate and a CinemaScore of A.
